For the dimensioning of safe and durable structures made of ETFE foils it is necessary to take this material response into account regarding single-layer, mechanically prestressed and multi-layer, pneumatically prestressed constructions. Systematic and comprehensive investigations with respect to the time-dependent material behaviour have not been published to date. For individual, more project-specific data, please refer to [2], [3], [4]. In order to investigate the time-dependent material behaviour of ETFE foils under permanent loads (retardation, creep), permanent load and load repetition tests were carried out in the form of uniaxial tensile tests. The non-linear influence of the load on the time-dependent material behaviour was investigated by performing tests under four different stress levels, each combined with the influence of a constant temperature by means of three test temperatures. The experimental investigations aiming at the long-term behaviour of the ETFE foils with test durations between 1200 h and 4000 h were supplemented and completed by tests under anisothermal, natural climate. These continuous load tests were performed for approximately 8 years. For the description of the material response, a rheological model is proposed. This model is based on Burgers’ model, which, for the purpose of this study, was enhanced by additional model parameters to take into account the stress level and the temperature. The comparison of the experimental and the projected strain-time-curves proves the model’s applicability for describing isothermal continuous load tests.

As very often observed in fact, these structures can form wrinkles (and folds) that are due to small and medium resistances to out-of-plane bending and to micro-buckling in shear and compression in the tangent plane of the structure [1, 2]. In the classical Finite Element Methods, this passage between membrane forces and out-of-plane is done with models of shells and plates which connect the rotations of the edges of a surface element with the flows of internal membrane forces, via functions of interpolation and derived from the elastic strain expression. In a networked Mass-Spring-Damper System (MSDS), there is no longer such interpolation features. Being proven that the flexural strength of these structures has an important role in the interaction with the surrounding fluids, it is impossible with these MSDS to represent these relations between bending and membrane effect without additional corrective internal forces (or moments). The problem is that, depending on the method used to take these compensating forces into account, differences of force fluxes (i.e. equivalent stresses) in the response of the structure are obtained. As a prerequisite for the optimal identification of parameters from intrinsic effective values, this communication aims at presenting comparisons between different strategies based on MSDS [3-9] in order to subsequently propose an adapted choice. Our numerical investigation notably shows the location and amplitude of the bending moments generated by the addition of out-of-plane internal forces which can lead to","PeriodicalId":395358,"journal":{"name":"10th edition of the conference on Textile Composites and Inflatable Structures","volume":"24 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1900-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"124725621","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In the case of combined pneumatically and mechanically tensioned structures, the generation of the models and the statical calculation is often a challenge. With pneumatic structures, we are basically dealing with 2 groups: The first group includes the pneumatic structures over an arbitrary boundary. These structures can only be created by a form-finding process considering an internal pressure. The second group includes pneumatically feasible structures like cylinders and spherical segments which are combined to form complete structures. These purely geometrically defined shapes can be created relatively easily by mathematical functions. To keep the manufacturing process simple and production costs low, it is still often seen today that the form-finding process is omitted in case of pneumatically feasible structures. In the case of combinations of pneumatically feasible structures, e.g. tube systems, nurbs geometry is often used. With nurbs, such structures can be easily generated and, above all, intersections between volume geometries can be easily created. When it comes to combinations of known pneumatically feasible structures together with mechanically stressed parts, it is not possible to completely omit the form-finding process. The mechanically tensioned parts are usually not in force equilibrium after generation via nurbs surfaces. Therefore, in the case of such combined systems, a form finding for the mechanically stressed parts is necessary. In this article, we show an example of how a pneumatically feasible tube system with mechanically stressed wall elements based on nurbs surfaces can be quickly generated and then statically calculated in our system. For this task, a discrete topologically correct and watertight mechanical model will be generated based on the nurbs model.
